WOW The McCain campaign is asking people to work for 10 days for FREE

[proud2BlibKansan]

Can you invest 10 days of your life to make history?

The John McCain 2008 Presidential Campaign is looking for volunteers who are willing to spend the final ten days of the campaign helping in a nearby state. Deployed volunteers will take an active role and participate in a number of Get-Out-The-Vote activities. These activities will include making phone calls, going door to door, recruiting volunteers, and assisting with additional campaign activities and operations.

These ten days will be unpaid and participants will be responsible for arranging their own transportation and housing. The campaign is unable to reimburse any expenses.

Please consider this opportunity to adhere to John McCain's call to serve a cause greater than self! On the evening of November 4th you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you did everything possible to secure the future of our nation.

Let us know that you are ready and able to serve from October 25th through November 4th by replying to this email with your resume and cover letter. Please send both to [e-mail].

Thank you!


Kameron Wilson, Deputy Director of Volunteers

1. Is McCain vetting is volunteers more than he vetted his vp?

[SemiCharmedQuark]

2. Um...there were many of us that did this for Obama and we never expected to be paid.

Isn't that the definition of "volunteer"?

7. The Republicans ALWAYS pay their people

Always, always, always.

They give scholarships to kids and recruit on campuses, promising paid positions. The Democrats use volunteers but the GOP has been paying its people for years.

This is really bizarre that they are asking people to work for 10 days for FREE.

8. I guess my point was...why do Republicans have to pay to find volunteers?
